“City Helicopter flight”
Sir, I was very pleased with my flight. It was a great/fantastic experience But I do have one suggestion to make The straps/webbing would be more comfortable if they were adjustable. To accommodate the fuller figure The ground Crew were wonderful they made me feel relaxed I thank you and your team very much for a very memorable 80th Birthday treat Yours sincerely Don Allanson
“Fabulous helicopter ride”
Have always wanted to go in a helicopter and I wasn't disappointed. I got the seat next to the pilot in the front and he took time out so I could get some pictures. Would love to go again, it was brilliant. Friendly staff and location was fab.
